Daily Nevada State Journal December 13, 1885
A Pioneer Gone

The Journal regrets to hear of the death of Dr. L.B. Brooks, who died at Aurum,
White Pine county, on the 4th of December.  The old gentleman was 73 years of
age.  He came to the coast in ’49, by way of Mexico.  He built the second
sawmill at Coloma, and later the celebrated Natoma ditch at Mormon Island.  In
1860 he went to Virginia, with two quartz mills.  He afterwards operated in
Austin and White Pine, and has expended a great many thousands of dollars in
mining enterprises.  He was largely interested with Wm. Burke, of White Pine,
and James Burke, of Reno, in their mines near Virginia.  He has a brother in
Boston, who is a very wealthy man.
